Lancaster Girls Grammar School on Regent Street. It may look somewhat gloomy, and the young ladies inside its walls may be a relatively studious bunch, but we experienced a hearty, healthy buzz of activity on the occasions we visited. Our daughter starts in September, so we expect to get to know LGGS much better over the years ahead.
Here's to old buildings with serious reputations - and lashings of ginger beer to take the edge off.

Girls school, eh? I guess there are no Harry Potters there then. She'll likely attend to her studies. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour EG Tour Guide, yes, let's hope so, although I have noticed boys (esp. LBGG students) hanging outside LGGS waiting for girls on an afternoon. It is not a convent.
ReplyDeleteBtw, just noticed each of your blog posts point to new blogs - http://eastgwillimburywow.blogspot.com/ - impressive!
Looks kind of spooky in black and white! I like it.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'm dying to enlarge that top shot and see some detail. It looks wonderfully detailed.

The first photo is excellent!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful old building, what character! Wish your daughter all the best there.
ReplyDeleteThanks m_m and KnoxvilleM - yes, it's a great building, and fit for purpose. Thanks also for the best wishes - I'll pass them on to Yasmin!
ReplyDeleteI walked past this school today, and a loud chorus of "It's raining men! Hallelujah!" was being sung within. Not so serious perhaps!?
ReplyDelete@ Allysoun - great comment! That's it, our daughter is going somewhere else :)
